time I was interested in development economics and particularly the
economic development of India. I then worked for most of my life in
local community activities and projects in Nottingham in the UK - for
example I helped develop a research and resource centre for trade
unions, community groups and voluntary welfare organisations. I also
spent many years developing a community garden project for people with
mental health problems. In the 1990s I also worked briefly in East
Germany at the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation trying to convey how to do
community development work. For 25 years I have lived in a flat owned
by a small housing co-operative. In the last few years I have returned
to being an economist specialising in ecological and environmental
issues - particularly climate change and energy issues and helped
develop the idea of cap and share as a commons based approach to
greenhouse gas mitigation. I now work closely with the Dublin based
organisation Feasta, although I still live in the UK. Right at this
moment I've become very interested in land economics too. So I've got
experience of working with very small groups AND now I'm looking at
some very big commons issues which are global in scope."
